Indiana Code Title 35. Criminal Law and Procedure § 35-48-3-4

Sec. 4. (a) The board shall register an applicant to manufacture or distribute controlled substances unless it determines that the issuance of that registration would be inconsistent with the public interest.  In determining the public interest, the board shall consider:

(b) Registration under subsection (a) of this section does not entitle a registrant to manufacture and distribute controlled substances in schedules I or II other than those specified in the registration.

(c) Practitioners must be registered to dispense any controlled substances or to conduct research with controlled substances in schedules II through V if they are authorized to dispense or conduct research under the law of this state.  The board need not require separate registration under this chapter for practitioners engaging in research with nonnarcotic controlled substances in schedules II through V where the registrant is already registered under this chapter in another capacity, to the extent authorized by the registrant's registration in that other capacity.

(d) Registration to conduct research or instructional activities with controlled substances in schedules I through V does not entitle a registrant to conduct research or instructional activities with controlled substances other than those approved by the board in accordance with the registration.

(e) The board may consult with the Indiana board of veterinary medicine before issuing a registration to a person:

(f) Compliance by manufacturers and distributors with the provisions of the federal law respecting registration (excluding fees) entitles them to be registered under this article.
